Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA EB 23 007
This funding opportunity, RFA-EB-23-007, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Notice of Funding Opportunity designed to support the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research NeuroImaging Tools and Resources Collaboratory. Its central aim is to strengthen collaborative work in neuroimaging informatics by sustaining and advancing shared tools, resources, and coordination activities that help the neuroscience community develop, manage, analyze, and disseminate neuroimaging data more effectively. The award mechanism is an R24 grant, and it is explicitly labeled "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," meaning the funded scope is intended for resource, infrastructure, and collaborative informatics support rather than running interventional clinical studies.
A defining feature of this NOFO is that it is a single-source, limited competition. Eligibility is restricted primarily to the U24 awardees and subawardees funded under the earlier initiative RFA-EB-16-002. In other words, the opportunity is structured to continue or transition an existing collaboratory effort rather than open a broad, new competition to the entire research community. Even with that restriction, the listing also notes categories of other eligible applicant types that NIH commonly includes, such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), eligible federal agencies, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. The general eligible applicant pool described in the source data also spans state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribes and other tribal organizations; public housing/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. Practically, however, the core limitation to prior U24 awardees/subawardees is the key gatekeeper for who can actually compete.
Foreign participation is handled in a nuanced way. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply as the applicant organization, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply. At the same time, "foreign components" as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement are allowed, which typically means a U.S. applicant may include certain activities performed outside the U.S. when they are scientifically justified and properly structured under NIH policy, even though a foreign organization cannot serve as the prime applicant.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant program run by NIH, falling under the broad activity areas of education, environment, health, income security, and social services as reflected in the government-wide categorization. The CFDA/assistance listing numbers associated with the opportunity include 93.113, 93.121, 93.213, 93.242, 93.273, 93.279, 93.286, 93.853, 93.865, 93.866, and 93.867, indicating that multiple NIH institutes or program areas may be tied to the Blueprint and neuroimaging-related funding streams. The posting indicates an award ceiling of $700,000, with the original closing date listed as September 26, 2023, and a creation date of July 13, 2023. The expected number of awards is not specified in the provided source data.
In plain terms, the opportunity is aimed at keeping a specialized neuroimaging informatics collaboratory functioning and productive, emphasizing shared tools and resources and enabling collaboration across the neuroscience neuroimaging ecosystem, while limiting who can apply to teams already funded in the prior U24 program lineage and keeping the work non-clinical-trial in nature.Apply for RFA EB 23 007

Who is actually eligible to apply (practically speaking)?
Eligibility is restricted primarily to the U24 awardees and subawardees funded under the earlier initiative RFA-EB-16-002. In practical terms, this prior participation is the key gatekeeper for who can compete for this R24.
Why does the listing mention many other eligible applicant categories if competition is limited?
The source information includes a broad set of applicant categories NIH commonly lists (for example, various institution types and government entities). However, the defining feature of this NOFO is the limited competition tied to the earlier RFA-EB-16-002 U24 lineage, which overrides the general breadth for most would-be applicants.
What types of organizations are referenced as eligible applicant types in the listing?
The provided information notes that NIH commonly includes categories such as:
- Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions
- Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs)
